Just a circulation hit. PMD. Not an error. Errers and Varietys.

The way that it seems to pass underneath the high points would make me want to check the fields for evidence of a die clash. That area of the lapel is where reverse lettering would collide. Could also be PMD, as folks have already stated. |

While that is true, that is also the reason why clashes in devices tend to remain after the clash is polished from the fields.
Anyway, it was a thought. I'm not as familiar with wheat cents as I am with other denominations.

All of my previous statements said, the OP's coin would appear to just be damage to the coin.

Welll then explain to me how a reverse die can bend that far to strike the deepest part of the obverse die. I'm asking for an explanation on a cent.

"no way" is a good way of saying never, before you retort.  -makecents-

I'd like to hear the explanation as well. I'd wager that coins showing clashing in such deep recesses of the die are reworked fantasy pieces.
